Kemin is known for its research and manufacturing of nutritional products for humans and animals -- and now has several new labs and a test kitchen for its 60 scientists.

Since October 2010, when Kemin announced its plans to expand, the company has already added 137 new, full-time jobs.

Kemin executives said the company's largest goal is to improve the quality of live.

"Kemin is dedicated in making that dedication to make that food available for the 9 billion people that will inhabit our planet. It's our mission and passion to do that with safe, nutritious food on a worldwide basis," said Chris Nelson, Kemin president and CEO.

The company said its expansion is not over yet. A new manufacturing facility is being built now, and is expected to be finished in 2014.
